"Where am I?"

"Anitam."

Permalink

"...why?"

Permalink

"Under arrest for misconduct in the course of an illegal occupation."

Permalink

"...I don't understand. Where's my wife? What happened?"

Permalink

"She is also under arrest for misconduct in the course of an illegal occupation. There's an invasion of the Oahk Empire in progress, and there are going to be trials for everyone involved in its atrocities."

"We weren't - when did this happen, the last I remember I was just sitting in the east parlor and -"

"We've been conducting arrests by rendering everybody unconscious from a distance." He is kind of grinning.

"Can I see my wife - please -"

"Where's Avalor?"

Permalink

"Found foster parents who didn't work for the people who murdered her actual parents, as I understand it."

Permalink

"I - we're not directly - we were looking after her - I want my wife please -"

"...when is that?"

Permalink

"Tomorrow."

Permalink

"Are we being tried under - Anitami coastal law or -"

Permalink

"Anitam is now united under one legal system. You can look things up if you want."

Permalink

"How?"

Permalink

"Do you read Anitami -"

Permalink

"A little."

Permalink

"So then I guess probably we'd put in a request to have the relevant section of the legal code translated and brought here." Tap tap tap on pocket everything.

She falls silent and stares at the wall.

Eventually someone brings a neatly bound translated Anitami legal code. And lunch.

Permalink

She reads. She looks a little suspiciously at the food.
